It is possible to view the older Domain Authority for a domain with open site explorer?
Thanks.

Unfortunately at this time it is not possible to view historic Domain Authority metrics. There are a couple of reasons for this, including the prohibitive cost of maintaining older indexes (my understanding is they are extremely large and to maintain/store/serve.)This may change in the future, but right now there is no access to historic indexes.
The other reason is that metrics like Domain Authority are comparative metrics that change from index to index. This means that it's best to use these numbers to compare yourself to the competition, but not to your own previous metrics as the base calculations can change. DA measures relative strength - so it's completely possible to improve 10% by raw numbers, but if your competition improved 10% as well, your relative DA really didn't change. For this reason we caution against folks measuring DA over time, and instead using it as indicator of ranking potential in real time against other competitors.
That said, SEOmoz does offer a Historic PageRank checker that does work for many domains. It's kinda fun.

You can view older PR in SEOmoz tools historic PR checker. Historic domain authority but I do not think you can.

I think that is not possible but you can look at older pagerank values here: http://livepr.ezer.com/

Domain name migration
I have purchased a new domain name (b), shorter and more cool than the one I'm actually using (a). Also I'm planning to use wordpress on (b), since my actual site was build entirely on html. So lets say making a migration so slowly. In the meantime I finish (b), I would like to include the name on my cards, and other promos, as well as actualize the new name in all my social profiles. I thinked on doing a 302 on (b) pointing to (a), till the day it will be finished. That day I'll do the opposite, so pointing (a), this time with a 301, to (b). Is this the best way of doing it, in terms os SEO? Thanks

1500 Domains... Where to begin? & Web Structure Question.
So, as the title says, I am stuck. I recently have been brought on as the SEO guru for a small-mid size company with the task of rebuilding their web presence. Their website is in pretty unfortunate condition. The more research I do, the farther and farther I am going down the rabbit hole of chaos. Essential the previous CEO was doing all SEO work. He purchased 1500 domains, all keyword specific. Installed wordpress on roughly 1,000 and then began pumping out content. Of the 1,000 roughly 300 of them have about 600-2,000 characters worth of content that is absolute fluff. From there the linking began. Now the content is different enough that Google doesn't seem to notice that its the SAME FREEKIN THING on each domain, but I am very concerned. The company has their main multi-page domain which has other links and sources of traffic, but in essence the previous owner created a micro link web. My advice is to cut those links ASAP and remove the previous work. At the same time, I also don't want them to lose rank. So I guess I am asking a whole slew of questions... Am I right in thinking that we have to build a bridge before we burn a bridge? Is it worth fixing up some of those other domains to have original content to try and bolster what we already have? Would it be better to combine everything into one website, or try and have different domains represent different things. For example Envato.com is an umbrella website with 8 separate websites operating under the same roof using different domains.? Where do I begin? I feel like I have started this project numerous times. I know the keywords, I know where the duplicate content is, I know the structure of the main domain, I am getting the structure of the entire link web. Lastly, any thoughts you all have would be greatly appreciated. I realistically have minimal experience in this realm. I am a a major nub. I understand SEO in theory, sorta. So I'm getting there!

Not sure what best practices are, but I have my main domain, a .com and my localized domains, .com.sg and .co.id. As you can see from the screenshot from opensite explorer, i am not getting any linkjuice from my .com domain to my other local domains - what am i doing wrong here? j3LWnOJ

SEO software for multiple views - Responsive web design
We have a responsive web design website and noticed this morning that we are ranking better on a cell phone search than on a PC search. There has been talk about this happening. My competitors do not have cell phone views or responsive websites. Does anyone know if Moz is planning on adding this kind of ranking information to their reports? Thanks Carla

Domain / Page Authority - logarithmic
SEOmoz says their Domain / Page Authority is logarithmic, meaning that lower rankings are easier to get, higher rankings harder to get. Makes sense. But does anyone know what logarithmic equation they use? I'm using the domain and page authority as one metric in amongst other metrics in my keyword analysis. I can't have some metrics linear, others exponential and the SEOmoz one logarithmic.

Group by Domain sorting is broken.
When sorting links with "Group by Domain" it only works for the 1st page. Pages 2 - X do not group the results. Am I doing something wrong? Can we simply set it to "view all" to avoid paging?

Impact of 301-redirected domains on OSE Metrics
When looking at the OSE metrics (DA, PA, Number Linking RDs etc.) is it purely based on OSEs evaluation of the specific domain or will it take into account links that have been 301-redirected to the domain?
